MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-80

This MSS Standard Practice was developed under the consensus of the MSS Technical Committee 203 and the
MSS Coordinating Committee. The content of this Standard Practice is the result of the efforts of competent and
concerned volunteers to provide an effective, clear, and non-exclusive specification that will benefit the industry
as a whole. This MSS Standard Practice is intended as a basis for common practice by the manufacturer, the
user, and the general public. The existence of an MSS Standard Practice does not in itself preclude the manufac-
ture, sale, or use of products not confonning to the Standard Practice. Mandatory confonnance is established
only by reference in a code, specification, sales contract, or public law, as applicable.

Unless otherwise specifically noted in this MSS SP, any standard referred to herein is identified by the date of
issue that was applicable to the referenced standard(s) at the date of issue of this MSS SP. (See Annex C.)

U.S. customary units in this SP are the standard; the metric units are for reference only.

This docwnent has been substantially revised from the previous 1997 edition. It is suggested that if the user is
interested in knowing what changes have been made, that direct page by page comparison should be made of
this docwnent

O. PURPOSE
0.1 This MSS Standard Practice establishes re-
quirements for bronze gate, globe, angle, and check
valves in Classes 125 (PN 20), 150, 200, 300 (PN
